It's been an eventful week. Had a doctor appt in the valley Tuesday of last week and met up with my younger granddaughter for a short visit while I was there. Thursday, being a holiday, her dad came up for a few hours. Yesterday, I went back down into the city and had lunch with my daughter-in-law and the older granddaughter.
In between, we've put together a funeral and reception for one of our church members and are now into working on Christmas and year end projects. I have all my Thanksgiving decorations in place, both inside and out, and Katie and I have resumed our daily walks up the road and back down. The weather has been beautiful this past week so the yard called to me and has now been properly manicured and all the debris (leaves, acorns, twigs)from the deck and the front areas, has been blown into the meadow or ravine and it's safe to walk outside again.
Due to the fender-bender in my front yard a couple of months ago, The Hartford decided to not simply raise my rates but to double them so I've been researching other carriers until I found one that has realistic rates and is reputable at the same time. (All these carriers that can save you $300 - $400 dollars by signing with them ... yeah, well.)
We have one or two days of this weather left before the cold front and rain move in so, since I work most of tomorrow, today we'll go out and clean and winterize the pond. The fish keep starting to go into hibernation and the weather warms and they come back out and cold weather hits again. They're as confused as I am, but I think this is Fall's last hurrah so I'll clean the pumps and filters and get the pond ready and tuck the fish in for the long winter's night.
I am, however, leaving time today for one more warm Fall afternoon taking in the view from the porch rocker.
Who passed away? I heard about Patty Fryer, but I'm really out of the loop now that I'm no longer at ECCO. Realtor came today to put this house on the market, so I am in the househunting market again, although not in a big hurry. Enjoying the week off, in spades. Not getting a lot done. Not like you.
ReplyDeleteIt was the Patty Fryer funeral. We held it Saturday the 13th.
ReplyDeleteJeez, again?! Except for your roommate, the snake, you love that house. I'll pray that it takes forever to sell! Be sure to mention the snake(s) to any prospective buyers ... full disclosure and all that. When are the four of us going to get together again? You'd think we lived on opposite sides of the country. Hugs & puppy kisses!
Oh no! We have Hartford for our auto insurance too. We've had no accidents or tickets in the last 10 years so I think we should be good.....at least I hope so! Happy rocking on the front porch!
